We had a shooting assignment in my camera club to do a photo series, with some limits. The required limit was using the same focal length in all images. The other one I chose was "in camera double exposure."

 

I have gone through a lot of emotional ups and downs in the past several weeks, and decided to do self portraits to convey my feelings, emotions and vulnerabilities.

 

So there are six in the series. I used my Lensbaby Velvet 56, and with each double exposure, I also moved while the shutter was open to create more of an abstract effect. I will be posting them, interspersed with my other posts.

Belle was busy defending the nest from the Black Kite invader. It eventually moved on but no doubt will keep returning.

No time for photography this weekend. I have been cleaning up the back garden after the water board did the sewer re-lining. What a mess they left!

A first visit for me to East Anglia last year to capture something new and did plan a revisit for this year which currently not able to do a visit here again is definitely on my list.

 

A long exposure of almost 7 minutes with a 16stop firecrest filter, sea mist was coming and going and having black and white in mind for this particular image leaving the compulsory seagull or 2 which these days seem to be captured and so long as they are not too blurred will leave them in.

 

Being my first visit didn't quite time the tide correctly as the sea defences were getting covered by the high tide quickly, also a slightly unusual crop as I didn't have long enough to gauge positions this one being the better of the images captured.

Wallasey Sea Defence

World War 2 Sea Defences Emerging From the Waves - Skipsea, Yorkshire

Sea defences old and new at Borth, Ceredigion, Wales, UK

One of the most recent coastal fortifications to fall. This castle built in 2014 fell the same afternoon after being subjected to a gentle but determined battering from the waves as they came ashore. Sadly the place where it once stood is now lost in the mists of time and only this photo remains as a record of its existence. :-)

Textures are my own

2 more pics of the fort gate at Fort Canning Park in Singapore. The steps led up to the roof of the structure but there wasn't much of a view from up there.

Cresswell Beach, poor sunrise but you always get something no matter what the weather down the coast

Only 4 in my theme this week Defences. In defence of our freedom Battle of Britain Flight at Airbourne Air Show, Eastbourne, Eat Sussex, UK. Taken from Beachy Head in 2012.

Groynes are a popular form of sea defence on the Norfolk coast. Coastal erosion is a particular problem in Overstrand and along the North Norfolk coast. Predictions of future sea level rise due to climate change are only likely to exacerbate this.

With a few exceptions, high rise offices and skyscrapers in Paris have been confined to the area of La Defence on the edge of Paris City Centre. Much like a Parisian Canary Wharf. This is the view looking up the Av. de la Grande Armee onto Av. Charles de Gaulle. The modern Grande Arche can be seen between the skyscrapers at the end. With the Arc de Triomphe at this end (where the photo was taken from) this makes an Arch at either end. I took a few hand held shots here and this was the sharpest without the use of a tripod. It was pretty windy at the time as well.

Number 2 in my Defences theme for this week. Ranthambore Fort, India taken in 2002.

An image of IIIIIIII at La Defence, Paris, France.

 

I thought the strong vertical stripes and the street furniture, made for an interesting abstract composition, I had previously processed this in colour, but think it works really well in mono?

 

Its actually a ventilation shaft for the Paris RER line :)

I Attempted to capture a unique version of the ongoing battle between Drongo’s and raptors. The opportunity presented itself one day, and I managed to capture the mood of the moment. Although taking many frames of this encounter, only one showed the attack and simultaneous defence.

Fort Thüngen, Luxemburg

This is my favourite part of Cornwall, and is well off the beaten track. Kingsand and its twin village of Cawsand, from where this shot was taken, are former fishing villages on the Rame Peninsula in the far south-east of Cornwall where they overlook Plymouth Sound. Until the middle of the 19th century the boundary between Devon and Cornwall actually lay between the two villages. It is marked by a plaque on the wall of a cottage.

 

The most famous landmark at Kingsand is the clock tower (seen on the left). This was built in 1909 as part of the adjacent Maker with Rame Institute to celebrate the coronation of King George V. The foundations of the clock tower were nearly washed away in a violent storm several years ago, but fortunately it was saved after substantial rebuilding of the sea defences.

 

Delicate light and strong winds was what was on offer on this particular evening, I love watching the patterns formed by the waves
